Naviair Selects Saab Sensis ADS-B for Surveillance of Flights over Greenland and the Faroe Islands

Naviair, the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) for Denmark, has selected Saab Sensis Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for surveillance of flights over Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Naviair will be providing ADS-B data of equipped en route flights to the Reykjavik Control Area Center.

The Naviair system will enable reduced flight separation between equipped aircraft and provide improved surveillance for search and rescue. Approximately 70% of flights in this area are currently equipped with ADS-B.

"With a significant number of flights operating in this area already equipped with ADS-B, the system will quickly deliver improved efficiency and situational awareness while enabling reduced environmental emissions," said Ken Kaminski, senior vice president and general manager of Saab Sensis. "Saab Sensis has the experience needed to deliver reliable systems to the most challenging operating environments such as Greenland and the Faroe Islands."
